Functions
       
string_cs(string_expression)
DESCRIPTION:
    Function returns a heuristically derived integer value that you can use to help determine
    which KANJI1-compatible client character set was used to encode string_expression.
 
    The result value can also help determine which client character set to use to interpret
    the character data.
    ===========================================================================================
    | IF the result value is …  | THEN the heuristic found that string_expression  …            |
     ===========================================================================================
    |   -1                      |   most likely uses a single-byte client character set         |
    |                           |   encoding, but it may also contain a mix of encodings.       |
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |   0                       |   does not contain anything distinguishable from any          |
    |                           |   particular character set, so any character set that you use |
    |                           |   to interpret string_expression provides the same result.    |
    |                           |   Not all translations use the same interpretation for the    |
    |                           |   characters represented by 0x5C and 0x7E, however.           |
    |                           |   If string_expression contains:                              |
    |                           |       * 0x5C and you want it to be interpreted as             |
    |                           |         REVERSE SOLIDUS, use a single-byte character set.     |
    |                           |       * 0x7E and you want it to be interpreted as TILDE, use  |
    |                           |         a single-byte character set.                          |
    |                           |       * 0x5C and you want it to be interpreted as YEN SIGN,   |
    |                           |       * 0x7E and you want it to be interpreted as OVERLINE,   |
    |                           |         use any of the following:                             |
    |                           |           * KANJISJIS_0S                                      |
    |                           |           * KANJIEBCDIC5026_0I                                |
    |                           |           * KANJIEBCDIC5035_0I                                |
    |                           |           * KATAKANAEBCDIC                                    |
    |                           |           * KANJIEUC_0U                                       |
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |   1                       |   uses the encoding of one of the following:                  |
    |                           |       * KANJIEBCDIC5026_0I                                    |
    |                           |       * KANJIEBCDIC5035_0I                                    |
    |                           |       * KATAKANAEBCDIC                                        |
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |   2                       |   uses the encoding of KANJIEUC_0U.                           |
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |   3                       |   uses the encoding of KANJISJIS_0S.                          |
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    Function helps determine which encoding to use when using the TRANSLATE function to
    translate a string from the KANJI1 server character set to the UNICODE server character set.
     ===========================================================================================
    | IF the result value is …  | THEN substitute the following value for source_TO_target in   |
    |                           | TRANSLATE(string_expression USING source_to_target ) …        |
     ===========================================================================================
    |   -1                      |   KANJI1_SBC_TO_UNICODE.                                      |
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |   0                       |   KANJI1_SBC_TO_UNICODE.                                      |
